Still working through the emails I have to deal with, but in the meantime two interesting links.

Now that “Science Blogs”:http://scienceblogs.com/ has started up, I found a new (to me) philosophy blog, “Adventures in Ethics and Science”:http://scienceblogs.com/ethicsandscience/. It’s by Janet D. Stemwedel, and you can get a sense for her work by perusing her “greatest hits post”:http://scienceblogs.com/ethicsandscience/2006/01/a_quick_tour_through_the_vault.php.

Back in the centre of the known universe, the philosophy in the pub series has expanded into a “Melbourne Thinkers Week”:http://www.heartofphilosophy.com/melbournethinkersweek/index.html festival. Philosophers including Graham Priest, Steve Curry, Rob Sparrow and many others will be doing events including public lectures, philosophy cafes, corporate ethics events, book launches and a philosophy panel. Check it out if you’re in Melbourne, or if you live somewhere less fortunate, have a look to see if this kind of public philosophy event may be replicable in your postcode.
